Rabbie Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 (edited) [s]1) VELVET GARBO LIGHT E and A strings only One day old! Honestly I don't know why I try anything but guts when I already know I'm not gonna end up liking them.... Save yourselves some cash on brand new Garbo light tension E and A strings. £100 posted to UK.[/s] 2) PRESTO ULTRALIGHT D string only used for 2 hours on my Chadwick: not my cup of tea. £15 posted [s]3) BLAST CULT LOW LIFES I love Blast Cult products and I figured I could use their low tension steels on my Chadwick, but I am too much of a gut guy and I ended up taking them off after a couple of days. Please note that the silks of these strings are very inexpensively applied and they 'fluffed' apart when I took them back out of the tuning pegs. However, the strings are in perfect condition. £50 posted. (Blast Cult sold)[/s] Edited December 13, 2013 by Rabbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbie Posted November 27, 2013 Author Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Mmm, I couldn't swear. I think they ought to be, but not sure at all. Edited November 27, 2013 by Rabbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smaz Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't suppose you're able to get a rough measurement from the string end/tailpiece to the nut on the bass you used them on? I'm looking for new strings for my Stagg EUB, but apparently 3/4 strings don't fit. No worries if you can't! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbie Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 Hi, the bass I had them on is a Chadwick folding bass, I think very standard 3/4 size. If I get a minute I can measure the string for you later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbie Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 I see that Clarky has a Lenzner G for sale: someone should try that with my strings above (or even just my Garbos plus Lenzner D and G). Just a helpful thought (and of course a bump) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
